At 58 (been doing judo since 14 years old) I could no longer do judo due to some physical problems. Your video has given me a different perspective on the art and with a bit of luck will get me back on the mat. I do not think you realize how much you video means to me. It is absolutely wonderful. Many thanks!

@Teddy Machette I don't specifically know of any other instructors who teach this style, but an older (50+) instructor is probably your best bet if you can find one. My inspiration for old man adaptations was Ashida sensei (8 dan) who was active 30 to 40 years ago in western New York (Brockport).

Same Did judo in my late 20's and after injuries I had to stop Now being in my early 50's I pretty much wrote off judo and was planning on retraining in my old tkd style to avoid serious knee and back injuries. Now, as I watch this video, I think I should try judo one more time before writing it off.

Very helpful. At age 62 I’m looking at starting Judo although I train daily including other martial art practice and weight training 🙏

The only judo I learned was a bit I’m the police academy and I loved it. That was 12 years ago. You make me want to get back into it. It’s a great martial are for police work. Getting someone to the ground with out having to use fists.

I’m a 59 year old white belt BJJ player. I’m laid up with a knee injury after doing a take down badly (the guy landed on me). This is a great lesson for when I get back in action. I will remember not to try and force the move, but to use movement, timing and balance as you so beautifully demonstrated. Thanks for the inspiration!

Great job guys! I practiced martial arts in the past but it's been a long time I haven't practiced. I've been exercising, though. This makes me encouraged to practice martial arts again and to start either judo or bjj at age 48. Thanks. Oss!

What an excellent Sensei.

Age 68, in COVID isolation for a year. TAI SABAKI each day helps keep me alive. Economy of effort. Well Done! D

Excellent teacher!

Humbling cuz im 48 now and starting to realize this vid is for young old guys like me..damn in my mind i still wanna do young Judo 😂

Absolutely love it! Was a blue belt in Judo, but haven't played since the 80's, & hope to get involved again soon. Thank you.

Excellent video Sensei, thank you! I started my journey in Judo when I was 9, and although I eventually made the change to Karate I will always love Judo.

This is awesome. More like these please. I got a bum hip so this helps my game a lot.

that first throw was beautiful. the laugh was great.

I'm 58 and thinking about taking Judo. I was thinking i was to old, but have been researching online if others my age, if they were doing it and found that in fact it is recommended. My mobility is not what it use to be, as everyone knows who is in their 50s. I have been doing martial art for about 25 years and i still practice Thai Boxing, just can't kick as high as i us to, so this is inspiring and will seriously consider checking out my local Judo club! Thank you very much and looking forward to more useful tips.

I started Judo at 58, Jiu Jitsu at 59, with no prior martial arts experience. Now at 64, still training both disciplines. I think that martial arts gyms, dojos are doing themselves a disservice by not marketing to us, sensible citizens.

This is awesome 👌. However, I'd argue this isn't laziness, I'd say you've cracked professor Kano's ethos of judo "maximum efficiency with minimal effort".

Great presentation sensei looks to me this is more to judo with aiki movement,,, more soft,,,, subtle yet effective

I"m 54 and just started BJJ, I have wrestling experience but I'm finding that with a GI it throws off my game with the grips, I will 100% be using these in my up coming tourneys!

Judo is a Living Art because there is sparring, which proves the effectiveness of the waza. These altered techniques remind me of the Shodokan Aikido techniques, which are adapted from Judo and Aiki-jutsu. Its founder, Tomiki, was a student of both Ueshiba and Kano. The importance of kuzushi can not be over emphasized. Nobody goes down, no waza can be performed unless kuzushi is there.

I guess you know aikijutsu is hapkido, or should I say Hapkido is aikijutsu, aikijutsu is the source of aikido, judo, jujitsu, and hapkido…. The history is so interesting, Korean kid was taken slave during WW2, taken in by aikijutsu master in Japan, once Korea liberated, and the war over, he had grown up and was an aikijutsu master, returned to Korea, but had to teach his art under a Korean name or the Koreans would have killed him due to the harsh treatment Koreans suffered under Japanese domination… you know the Japanese attempted to wipe out the Korean culture, outlawed any Korean martial art, the Korean language, Korean dress, and attempted to force Japanese culture on the Koreans… so the Koreans hated the Japanese of course….I practice Taekwondo, Hapkido and Judo (it’s all aikijutsu actually!) of course Koreans altered aikijutsu with kicks, same as jujitsu has altered judo with more ground work…. But it’s all the same just different focus due to what instructors liked to practice over the years.. so interesting to see the changes such as Gracie Brazilian Jujitsu, it’s just a brand name rather fad like to sell their art, but it’s altered aikijutsu…

I'm what might be described as a mature aged Martial Artist. I'm not a Judoka but love the principles of 'the soft way'. So what I was watching & listening out for was tips on how as we age we need to adjust & train smarter. I saw that in spades. Thank you.

Great info . Tq

I'm 57, still train, started martial arts in 1978 at the age of 12. I consider myself an old man martial artist. I tell everyone I am an old, fat, lazy bald guy that can still go at 20-year-olds. I do this by being smart, and lazy, all about the experience at this point. I let them wear themselves out and I wait for a mistake, and I take advantage of it. Something the younger generation hasn't figured out yet, they still want to be tough, strong and quick.

Awesome to know even for little younger people

Did a bit of judo when I was 16, now I'm 56 almost and still going on the mat with my kid (13 y.o) to teach him throws. In fact is cross training, the kid is doing BJJ starting his age of 6. My intimate belief is that a good BJJ athlete must know the judo throws and especially to cope with the throw, to do the proper ukemi and counter. Your work is inspiring. Thank you.

If you think about it, it's partly the 16 year old you teaching your 13 year old son because your Judo is attached to your 16 year old memories and neuropathways. Do you feel like at all you are the same generation as him while teaching him judo? Like older brother teaching younger brother?

How do you keep your uke from holding tightly to you and pulling you down with him? PS: Highest ranking uke I've ever seen - much respect, sir!

@SeiryokuZenyo

3 жыл бұрын

If you're uke is afraid of falling or a newbie, he may very well hold on tight. An uke who clings is more likely to get hurt, so if it is during training, try to get him to relax and emphasize the importance of slapping for safety. If he does pull you down, you must make certain you end up on top. You should practice going into mat work directly from a throw: kzread.info/dash/bejne/mHt5raOMg8mpj9I.html

Someone who does not know how to fall is likely to be injured by a throw and will probably think twice before getting up to be thrown again. And judo has submission techniques as well as throwing.

Yes, you can practice judo by yourself, though you need a good foundation in the techniques to make it effective practice. kzread.info/dash/bejne/c6agx6VygazJf8Y.html Judo is first and foremost a martial art. It is very effective for self defense in its traditional applications. Unfortunately It became an Olympic sport in 1964 and as a result it took on ever increasingly draconic rule sets which made it less effective for self defense. Even so, the basic fundamentals and techniques are still very useful in many self defense applications, and if you attend a class which emphasizes traditional judo over sport judo, you can still find it a full well rounded martial way. kzread.info/dash/bejne/k3mOqdWyh7Pdcto.html

It really is a variant of sumi otoshi, but beginning with a back step and a turn (which is my preferred method of creating kuzushi). For uki otoshi, all the hand motion is forward and across the body, and it is invariably done going down on one knee.
